Not only is driving not permitted, but there is no watching TV, using the phone or playing video games (nothing electronic), no writing, no opening mail, no discussions of money or business, no shopping or errand running. Just a day of going to Synagogue, learning, reading, sharing meals with family and friends and uninterrupted family time. I have friends that are observant and they can't wait for Shabbat! And yes, there are Orthodox communities in each of the 50 United States! I haven't slowed down enough to become Shomer Shabbat, but maybe someday...Wendy Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01565723326517780414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614350181757194859.post-49496592797077715882009-06-29T14:21:25.896-04:002009-06-29T14:21:25.896-04:00I love this post!

We have really been trying to slow down our lifestyle to where it is okay to just have a "free" day. It isn't always easy, because the world does try to dictate our habits - but that is what our frenzy is -- habit. We usually try to have at least one day that we can just enjoy each other's company, to rest and get some revitalization for the coming week. It sure is a lot easier in the summer though -- no school for the kids or college for the parents -- that alone seems to take some real time pressure away! :)<br /><br />Thanks so much for sharing your heart with us. We will continue to pray for your family as you transition through this period of your life.<br /><br />God Bless You!Beth K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02136019830844332026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614350181757194859.post-60283520491416691142009-06-29T13:02:38.729-04:002009-06-29T13:02:38.729-04:00Mary H, you brought up some good memories, prompte...Mary H, you brought up some good memories, prompted by Becky's amazing post. Yes, stores were closed on Sundays. And every night at five, except for Mondays and Thursdays when they stayed open until nine. How special that was! If you ran out of an egg or a cup of sugar, you went to a neighbor instead of a 7-Eleven! Imagine that. Phone calls? They too were made with the cooperation of a neighbor because you had to ask them to hang up from their party line so you could use yours! Television? It stopped programming by midnight, so if you were a night owl like I am now, you wouldn't be watching reruns of House or Cold Case! You'd be watching fuzz.<br /><br />Becky, please tell Nathan that there are still places in America where work ceases on Shabbat. They are in Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods where worshippers live close to their temples so they can walk to services because driving is forbidden. In the old days people lived in the dark when candles lit before nightfall would run down and couldn't be relit because it was considered work. Meals were prepared before sundown as well. Now, with modern technology, lights are set on timers and so are ovens, so that people do not have to do the "work" of turning them on and off. <br /><br />I always found it so amusing that walking to and from temple was not considered work. It would be to me!!!!<br /><br />Thanks, Becky, for another wonderful post. I knew when I received that wonderful photo of me with Pooh that you were experiencing unique ways to entertain yourself and keep yourself busy!<br /><br />I do hope you are submitting some of these wonderful blog entries for publication?Sue Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10661749227670056682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614350181757194859.post-90939714014366772202009-06-29T12:05:47.798-04:002009-06-29T12:05:47.798-04:00There was a time, when I was a young girl, and con...There was a time, when I was a young girl, and contrary to some belief that is not THAT long ago, stores were closed on Sundays - we managed to get it all done by Saturday - we didn't require as much stuff as we do now but we managed - Sundays were spent in church and then there would most likely be a visit to a family friend, relatives or neighbors. There were quiet Sundays reading the paper or listening to music - not watching television - that was only for the evenings. We desperately need to return to the Shabbat of our past - but we will not - we are addicted to shopping, malls, television, grocery stores open 24 hours a day - we are too busy to notice what we are missing - families don't know how to sit and relax and enjoy each other - they feel the need or the requirement to spend time in organized activities - like sports for their kids or dance lessons...our children have no imagination - the inside of their houses are more entertaining than the outside - for goodness sake, there are commericials on television now encouraging kids to P-L-A-Y outside for at least one hour a day! Can you believe that? As a society we are lost in our busyness - I, however, as one person, singularly and without much understanding have been trying to take on this situation in my own "back yard," so to speak. Maybe if we each just try and slowly get some of this back, we will all be more centered on our families, will take the time to enjoy each other and help each other and become a better people. <br />Okay, I am getting off my soapbox now - but just try it - let's bring back Sundays - the way the used to be. If you think about it, what you had to "run" and get or do on Sunday, wasn't that crucial in the first place. There was probably something right at home that would have made you just as happy or satisfied. I miss Sunday visits and the relief there was from the quiet of that day.MaryHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07935312892447559573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614350181757194859.post-33447090378136446172009-06-29T11:18:50.864-04:002009-06-29T11:18:50.864-04:00Oh how I would love to borrow you for a day (or tw...Oh how I would love to borrow you for a day (or two or three!). :) How do you feel about Wisconsin?<br /><br />What you wrote is so true. In our country it seems like so many people are in a hurry, but yet they don't really know or care what they're racing towards. I'm trying to make the most of my car time with the boys this summer as we shuttle from one activity to another, but I long for some quiet waters. We've been dealing with the "how much is too much?" question for the past couple years and we obviously haven't found a good answer.<br /><br />Enjoy your Shabbat!Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03803669291164501213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614350181757194859.post-62756696293646515732009-06-29T09:57:48.411-04:002009-06-29T09:57:48.411-04:00What a good, thought provoking, entry Becky! And ...What a good, thought provoking, entry Becky! And I have to agree with everything you just wrote.<br /><br />Not too long ago, I had a Sunday where I had nothing planned; I didn't have to do rounds or be on call, or go grocery shopping or wash clothes, etc. Well, I started pacing in the apartment, because it just didn't feel "right" to do "nothing"! My roommate told me to sit and relax, and stop feeling guilty! Yes, I was at point where I felt guilty for not having a milion things scheduled in a day. It's not something I'm used to!<br /><br />But, the world isn't going to stop because I decide to "vegetate" one day. In fact, I always end up appreciating this moment of calm more than I thought at some point :)Marysienkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13185620350459144898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614350181757194859.post-29462661017466090822009-06-29T09:45:37.186-04:002009-06-29T09:45:37.186-04:00Thank you for that, Becky.

My husband and I have found ourselves in a different type of limbo, and I have learned from the experience that limbo and me are NOT good friends. Possibly not even on speaking terms. I'm wishing I could un-invite this pesky limbo right now. When we found ourselves in this situation I kept finding my brain wandering back to your family's story (I've read Sarah's blog for a couple years) and thinking that limbo may be frustrating and scary but doable. It could be worse. So thank you for doing what you do. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
